Oddly enough, I just wrote about this in my blog. I'm about a 32 and the tapes barely reach. I would definitely go up to the mediums if you are a 36. Good luck. Jackson

Exactly my point - and there's the rub! It is human nature to want to be accepted... accepted by everyone. We act or behave a certain way in front of our family that we would never dream of doing out in public. Why? Because we want to be accepted. I didn't say I wanted to force my fetishes on anyone else. I simply stated that wearing something, or saying something, or doing something in the presence of someone with whom you are comfortable is no different than doing it alone. The same goes for an environment in which everyone is displaying their diversity. Would you go to a party dressed in a costume if it wasn't a costume party? No. Why? Because you'd be the only one. Would you post something about loving to wear diapers on a forum other than one such as this? No. Why? Because you'd be an outcast hammered with negative posts. I don't feel like I'm making my point very clear, but the bottom line is that going to a celebration of diversity and acting in a diverse manner isn't exactly making any points for your side. I simply don't see how that accomplishes anything. As a globe full of 6-billion individuals, we will never come to a unified agreement on virtually any topic you want to mention. The question is, would the fetish be as appealing if it was a universally accepted behavior? Or, as my grandfather would say, "Are you working this hard to get your way, or do you just like to argue?"

Well isn't the whole point lost if you were among people that were like minded? I mean if you're dressing in a diaper around people who don't care how you dress, then it's kind of the same as posting on this board - safe. It's like preaching to the choir - you're not really gaining anything. The risk comes when we expose our "secret" preferences to people who are not like- or open-minded. Unfortunately, most people criticize, judge, and condemn too easily. Or am I missing something?

Bump!

Dill Pickle, Thanks for your reply. I appreciate you sharing your experiences. Your pointers will come in handy. The reason I can't stop the meeting whenever I want is because it is being broadcast live and I am part of the broadcast crew. I don't make the calls on when we break. Only the director can do it. BTW, I feel bad for you. It sounds like your ex needs serious therapy... or her legs broken. Glad to hear you are no longer in such a relationship. Thanks very much, Jackson

BUMP!

BUMP!

Ruffles, Thank you for sharing that with us. It must be great to be surrounded by such understanding and caring individuals! Unfortunately, I fear that level of understanding is all too uncommon, even in this day and age. Anyone else? Perhaps someone who's experience was a little more turbulent?

Hello All, I've been wearing diapers off and on for (I believe) more than ten years. I can't remember exactly when I bought my first Depends, but it was a good long time ago. Perhaps as early as my late teens. I don't remember why I initially became interested in diapers, but for some reason, I did. Some sort of subliminal attraction, I guess. There was definitely an erotic connection for me. Can't explain that, either, other than the diaper covers and comes in direct contact with an area of the body directly related to sex. I don't really think the title "Diaper Lover" fits me exactly either. I feel more like a "Diaper Advocate" or a "Diaper Enthusiast"! And the baby/sissy thing has no appeal to me at all. Anyway, over the past few months, I've become increasingly interested in wearing diapers more frequently and during normal activities, even in public. Now please understand, I don't want the general public to know that I'm wearing them - voyeurism is definitely NOT the motive behind it (or at least I don't THINK it is, but maybe I'm just not being honest with myself ). I actually feel there's a great deal of practicality to wearing diapers - especially while away from home. I'm a business owner as well as being very active outdoors so I am often nowhere near a bathroom. I find myself waiting until the last minute to pee or poop just because it's so damned inconvenient at the moment (which is not at all good for the body)! Even if I were always near a public restroom, I absolutely HATE to use them! And it never fails, when I've really gotta go, the only stall available is the one that doesn't have a door or the latch is broken. I'm sure you're all aware that holding your foot against the door while trying to take care of business can be very distracting! Anyway, I have worn diapers on "test runs" a number of times and so far, so good. For instance, I often freelance for a large company where proceedings may last more than 2 hours without interruption. My taking a "potty break" would basically bring the proceedings to a grinding halt, and possibly also the future of my contract. Not a "tena"ble (sorry couldn't help myself ) position. There have been several times where I've thought to myself "What if I have to go to the bathroom?" Well, of course as soon as you start to think about it, you've gotta go! So wearing a diaper on a few of these occasions was quite a comfort. I even made a special trip to the mall just to see if I could "change myself" in a public situation. I packed up my wipes and a fresh diaper, put another diaper on, drove to the mall, and walked around for some time while I "worked one up". When I felt the time was right I let myself pee and actually managed to poop, too. As I was walking to the restroom I was a little concerned because I could smell the "freshies" and I wondered if anyone else could? Not that I really cared, it would have been hard to identify the source in the crowd, but nonetheless. When I got to the restroom, it was empty and I was relieved at the fact. It's not like someone couldn't recognize the distinct sound of a diaper - especially those damned adhesive tabs! Anyway, I went into a stall and started changing. I had removed the dirty diaper and was in the cleanup process when a number of people started filtering in. I basically froze. After several minutes, the crowd dwindled to one guy in the stall next to me. I relaxed and thought I'd better finish cleaning up. I had yet to realize I had made an error - you see I had put a whole box of wipes and the clean diaper in a backpack. The backpack was hanging, rather precariously, on the stall door. When I reached for a wipe, the whole think came crashing to the floor and the diaper quickly hopped out on the floor as if to say "HERE I AM!" Needless to say, I froze again for a brief moment while I stared at the diaper, wondering if the guy in the stall next to me could see it. Finally, I grabbed it up and stuffed it back into the backpack. I just sat there silently for what seemed like an eternity until the guy left. When I heard the door close, I started putting on the fresh diaper. I used the wall of the stall to hold it while I fastened the tapes. Now came the riskiest part - DISPOSAL! I carefully folded the diaper up into a tidy package. By this time I felt like I had regained my composure, so I opened the stall door, dirty diaper in hand. I walked to the trash can about 15 feet away... right in front of the door. My hand lifted over the can and released the "evidence". It no sooner landed in the pile of used paper towels than the door flew open. It was a father, his toddler, and his infant. Ironically, he was coming in to change the baby! I had just started washing my hands when the door opened to reveal another father with a small child. They took a position in line at the changing table behind the first man! I finished washing my hands as the toddler stared at me. I thought to myself "If you only knew!" I left the restroom satisfied I could change in public if the need arose. Anyway, I could name a dozen other situations where a diaper could prove extremely useful, but I think we all get the idea. I would probably not wear one on occasions where a trusted restroom was convenient, or while on a "bar-hopping" excursion, etc. So I guess my questions are; (1) Are there any other folks out there that wear diapers recreationally (i.e. at home during leisure time) and also in public for "legitimate" (for lack of a better term), reasons? (With the exception of incontinence.) (2) What do you do about odor (other than dietary adjustments/supplements)? (3) Does anyone know that you wear them? Did you tell them or did they find out? How did you explain? How did they respond? That's all for now. I thank you all in advance for your thoughts. I hope you enjoyed the story, too! I was dying to share and it's not one of those things you want to pop off at the dinner table! Thanks, Jackson

Rachel, Don't feel self-conscious or embarrassed about buying diapers. There are many reasons that people buy them and use them. Astronauts have to wear them on takeoff because they can’t leave their seats for several hours. Security guards sometimes wear them because they can’t leave their posts to go to the bathroom. Military operatives who can’t afford to be “caught with their pants down
